Austin! What is there even left to say, since so many fucking people are talkin' and playin' at once at any given moment...we started off with a bang, or, rather, a pop, that is, the pop of dead transistors. Two songs into our set, our sole amp went kaput. Bummer. We somehow managed, played our second show of the evening, and moved on. Now we're practicing Green Day and Michael Jackson grooves for our St. Louis show, backing rapper Froggy Serrington. We're going legit!

Finally we approach the heart of Texas...about bloody time! We cruised into Dallas at dawn, even had time to take advantage of our federal subsidies at the local Whole Foods. Evan Horn did us more than right; he took us full damn around. We plowed through our set like a carousel gone apeshit. We sold copies of our records for the first time! Totally beat, we took to an empty room and crashed next to a comfortable pile of wires and rocks. The morning was gorgeous and easy. Hot tamales and coffee! We're in Austin now. It looks crazy out there. We're taking it easy tonight, but we'll be out tomorrow.

LZ in Denton

no show last night, but believe you me, it was nice to chill. Beautiful weather in Denton, and some nice shops too.
